A tummy tuck Tampa has no specific weight requirements. This is because other factors such as height, medical history, and medications also come into play when determining tummy tuck candidacy. As long as a patient is not significantly underweight or overweight, they are more likely to be a surgical candidate. Dr. Sessa will evaluate each patient and their situation individually.
Overview: Tummy Tuck Surgery In Tampa
Tummy tuck surgery—also referred to as an abdominoplasty—is a plastic surgery procedure that removes excess skin from the abdomen. It also usually tightens separated abdominal muscles, a condition known as diastasis recti. Dr. Sessa frequently performs liposuction alongside tummy tuck procedures to further improve results by removing stubborn fat deposits.
A tummy tuck addresses a stomach bulge and hanging stomach that will not respond to diet and exercise. These situations often occur after pregnancy (especially multiple pregnancies), massive weight loss, or frequent fluctuations in weight. The stretched and loose skin will not respond to weight loss and losing weight can worsen the condition. Thus, surgically removing it is the best way to improve the abdominal contour.
